About Dana Whitten

Attorney Dana Whitten concentrates her practice exclusively in Maryland family law, representing clients in divorce, child custody, child support, and related domestic matters. She understands that clients often come to her during some of the most difficult and uncertain periods of their lives, and she is committed to providing both strong legal advocacy and practical, personal support throughout the process.

A Maryland native, Dana returned home after earning her law degree from Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan. She gained extensive family law experience practicing in both boutique firms and a nationally recognized law firm before founding the Law Offices of Dana K. Whitten, LLC. Over the course of her career, she has represented clients throughout Maryland in matters ranging from negotiated settlements to complex contested litigation.

Dana believes effective family law representation requires both strategy and judgment. She takes the time to understand her clients' priorities, explain the legal process clearly, and develop an approach tailored to the circumstances of each case. As a skilled negotiator, she works to resolve disputes efficiently and cost-effectively whenever possible. When litigation is necessary, Dana is an experienced and determined courtroom advocate who is prepared to protect her clients' interests through trial.

Dana was selected as a "Top Attorney" in Bethesda Magazine in 2019.

Dana has also been selected each year from 2017 through 2027 as a “Rising Star” by Maryland Super Lawyers.
